Not A Monster (Kylo Ren X OC)

Home

Our planet remained undetected and had no official name, according to the old galactic database. We simply called it Home. Now everything has changed. Our updated and newly discovered Planet is now home to one of the most sought out resources in the galaxy. Quadanium-2R is a renewable fast growing replica of the original Quadanium steel that is used for quite literally everything.

Since Home was discovered by a small unit of scouting stormtroopers, led by the infamous General Hux, our average sized and insignificant planet has become not only the most important resource to the First Order, but also a hot vacation spot to the more noble imperialists and well known officers of the First Order. Our soft green pastures and pointed purple mountains are quite the eyesight as opposed to the bland monochromatic metal vessels one would be used to. General Hux explicitly uses our planet during his downtime routinely. He stays at the Corven estate where I essentially work at, so I have met him a handful times. The Lord and Lady make it apparent to introduce me as a family member rather than a maid. Despite the constant reminder, General Hux always fails to forget my name, but makes it apparent that he remembers the blossomed Corven daughter, Lady Ciella. Despite his straight and pompous personality, he isn't as snarky as one would think. He's tolerable and respectful. Due to my upbringing, 'Mother' and 'Father' Corven trust me to handle all of their special guest's requests. Although, I have not heard from Hux in almost a year.

Todays visit will be quite different. Commander Kylo Ren will be accompanying the General for the first time since they discovered our planet. I remember it so vividly. I remember him.

Years ago, a stark black ship decended from the skies onto our planet and landed on our property about a field away. White armored soldiers escorted two men in black out of the vessel and marched a good minute towards my family's estate. The taller one sported a mask and hood and the other had a more uniform style with orange hair. I remember peaking out the window while Mother greeted the threatening troops from the top of our many stairs that led to the pavement below. Lady Ciella sneaked up next to me to see the commotion as well.

"Mae, it isn't safe for a girl to eavesdrop by the window." She whispered whilst tapping my shoulder. I looked up to her and scrunched my nose and stuck out my tongue. I may be her maid, but we were brought up together as sisters. Her golden heavenly curls rolled and bounced to the front of her shoulders on the side of her face as she bent down along with me. Her sky blue eyes glisten, then suddenly reflect a hint of red. My eyes snap back to the scene outside. The masked man had ignited a glowing red sword.

"What is that?" I ask in fear and fascination. The orange haired man cocked his head towards the menacing figure. The mask tilted towards his direction, then back to Mother. The red flame disappeared into the small handle. I saw her lips move as she continued to speak to the odd duo. Minutes went by as Ciella and I cautiously watched the standstill from afar.

"Ciella, what do you think is happening?" I questioned her hoping that with her being older, she would have some insight that I may not have; but I doubted any kind of answer would come of it. She only ever knew as much as I did.

"How would I know?" She retorted.

More time dragged by and Ciella got up to do something more meaningful -probably studying or whatever hobby she's into at this point.

My eyes began to wander around and take in the various machinery in detail. I noticed some scuffs on one of the white armored soldiers and another soldier adjusted his feet to a more comfortable stance. My cheek rested on my hand in boredom. I twirl a section of my raven black hair with my index finger. I glance back to the two strangers and my eyes lock on to the mysteriously covered man. His mask aimed straight at me, as if looking at me. I audibly gasped and cover my mouth. I can't look away. His non existent face enthralled me into searching for his eyes behind the mask. I could feel them pierce right through me. The mere seconds of what seemed like minutes quickly ended as he turns his attention back to my mother. My body melted to the floor as I hid under the window sill. My audible breaths slowed back to normal.
